In the Bible, Esau is portrayed as being angry and vengeful towards his brother Jacob after Jacob deceived their father Isaac and stole Esau's birthright and blessing.

    Correct Answer
    A. The day of their destruction
    Explanation
    Obadiah states that the people should not have rejoiced over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction.

It suggests that celebrating or finding delight in someone's misfortune is not morally right or appropriate.

    Who is mentioned in Obadiah 1:6?

    • Jacob

    • Gad

    • Joseph

    • Esau

    Correct Answer
    A. Esau
    Explanation
    In Obadiah 1:6, Esau is mentioned. This verse refers to Esau's pride and arrogance, highlighting his downfall and the judgment that will come upon him. The book of Obadiah is a prophecy against the nation of Edom, which was descended from Esau. The verse specifically mentions Esau's hidden treasures and his dwelling in the clefts of the rocks, emphasizing his false sense of security. This verse plays a significant role in conveying the message of judgment and retribution against Esau and the Edomites.

    Correct Answer
    A. Lord's
    Explanation
    The last word of the book of Obadiah is "Lord's." This is because the book of Obadiah is a prophetic book in the Old Testament of the Bible, and it ends with a declaration of the Lord's sovereignty and victory. The word "Lord's" signifies that everything ultimately belongs to God and that He is in control.

    Complete the verse, "Though thou exalt thyself as the ________"

    Correct Answer
    eagle
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "eagle." In this verse, the speaker is suggesting that no matter how much one may try to elevate themselves or think highly of themselves, they will never be as powerful or majestic as an eagle. The eagle is often associated with strength, freedom, and superiority, making it a fitting comparison to convey the idea that human arrogance can never match the grandeur of nature.

    • Judah

    • Benjamin

    • Levi

    • Napthali

    Correct Answer
    A. Benjamin
    Explanation
    In the book of Obadiah, the prophet states that Benjamin shall possess Gilead. This implies that the tribe of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, will have control over the land of Gilead. The reason for this possession is not explicitly mentioned in the question, but it could be due to various historical or political factors within the context of the biblical narrative.

    What is being described in 1:7?

    • Treason

    • The twelve tribe of Israel

    • A romantic dinner

    • High School Musical

    Correct Answer
    A. Treason
    Explanation
    In 1:7, the text is describing treason. This means that the passage is discussing an act of betrayal or disloyalty towards one's country or ruler. The other options - the twelve tribes of Israel, a romantic dinner, and High School Musical - do not align with the concept of treason and are therefore incorrect.
